University of Birmingham School of Chemistry Post-Doctoral Research Fellow Developing Quantum Dynamics for Large Systems Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research position in the group of Dr. Graham Worth in the school of chemistry, Birmingham University. The project is to develop a quantum dynamics method and apply it to water-protein scattering. The project is the CCP6 flagship project, and will be run in collaboration with Dr. A.J.H.M. Meijer at Sheffield University. CCP6 is a collaboration of British researchers in quantum dynamics calculations, aiming to provide essential software for the science community (see www.ccp6.ac.uk for further details). The successful applicant will implement a novel algorithm into the MCTDH program suitable for treating polyatomic systems. This program, a quantum dynamics program used by a number of research groups, is written mostly in Fortran, and knowledge of this language would be an advantage. The program will then be used to study the scattering of water molecules off a protein in the gas phase, a process for which experimental data is available. Applicants should have a first degree in chemistry or physics and have achieved or submitted a thesis for the award of a relevant PhD in chemistry, physics or a related subject. Computing skills and experience in program development are important. The post is available from 1 January 2007 for a period of 3 years. Starting salary £23,457 per annum. Closing date: 30 November 2006 For further details contact: [log in to unmask] Graham Worth -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Graham Worth Dept. of Chemistry University of Birmingham Edgbaston Birmingham phone +44-121-414-3782 B15 2TT fax +44-121-414-4403 U.K. e-mail [log in to unmask] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To join or leave the molecular-dynamics-news email list, go to: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/molecular-dynamics-news.html
